Sugba Lagoon in Siargao Island
Why Sugba Lagoon?
First time of hearing Sugba Lagoon, I have no idea that it was 1 hour away from General Luna, (Until i research) The Main town where most the accommodation located at. The Sugba Lagoon is situated in Del Carmen. In the middle of Magnificent Rock formation and Mangroves which reminds me of Sipalay in Negros. This is basically the newest attraction Siargao Island has to offer, So don’t be surprise this place will gonna soon be popular.
